Chapter 278: The Death of the County Magistrate, the Beginning of Chaos

Looking at the condensed Fantian Seal, it was shining with red-gold light and slowly rotating in the void.

Simple and majestic, full of majesty.

Shen Qing discovered that after he broke through to the Danren realm, the speed at which he could cast the Heaven-Flipping Seal far exceeded his expectations.

At the same time, when this move was used, it only mobilized about one tenth of his spiritual power, which was a world of difference from the past.

The spiritual energy consumption of the Heaven-Flipping Seal has decreased?

No, it's not.

The spiritual power consumption of the Fantian Yin martial art did not decrease, but his overall spiritual power capacity increased, which was ten times as much as before.

In this case, if the spiritual power bonus of the Six Paths Whale Swallowing Art is added, the Heaven-Turning Seal will no longer be a burden to him.

Shen Qing couldn't help but clench his fists and felt much more at ease.

With powerful military force, he has greater confidence in dealing with possible changes in the future.

"Although my current realm is not as good as those innate old fellows from high-ranking families, if I fight to the death, I can still have a glimmer of hope, and I won't be completely without any chance of winning."

Shen Qing smiled slightly, and the stone in his heart suddenly relaxed, making him feel as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned his head and looked around, exhaled heavily, turned back to the house with a smile, lay down on the bed he had not seen for a long time, put aside all the messy thoughts, and fell into a deep sleep.

Right now, he won’t have any problems even if he stays awake all day, and he is still full of energy.

So these days, he has been practicing day and night and has never really lay in bed to rest.

Now that he had achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation, he didn't want to do this anymore. He wanted to enjoy the comfort of being completely empty during a deep sleep like he had in the past.

That night, he slept soundly without any disturbance.

More than ten days passed like this, and everything in Yongzhou was back to normal, without any unexpected incidents. Even the demons that used to wreak havoc in the surrounding areas had disappeared.

It's amazing.

However, compared to the optimism of others, Shen Qing felt that there were dangers lurking everywhere and he didn't know when something would suddenly break out.

In the back hall of the Weiwusi Yamen.

Shen Qing gave instructions to Tian Xiaohu, Ji Youwu, Chen Guang and other subordinates.

"I don't care what other people think, but you and I are not allowed to slack off. In the next period of time, you must not only patrol strictly, but also study hard to prepare for the future."

Tian Xiaohu and others didn't know why Shen Qing was so serious.

Out of their natural trust in him, everyone agreed.

This was especially true when Tian Xiaohu casually mentioned his experiences with the total difference in conversation. They did not dare to ignore any of them.

At this moment, a long-servant came over and reported respectfully: "Sir, the chief envoy of the Military Department, Si Huangfu Rou, is here in person. He said he has something to ask you."

Huangfu Rou is here?
Shen Qing glanced at Tian Xiaohu and others.

The latter understands.

"Sir, I will take my leave first."

After saying that, Tian Xiaohu and others left the back hall one after another.

After all these people left, Shen Qing straightened his clothes and walked to the door. When he saw the beautiful figure of Huangfu Rou, he bowed and said, "Why did Lord Huangfu come here today? Is there something important? Come in."

At this moment, Huangfu Rou stood tall and straight, with a heroic spirit between her brows. She turned her head and met Shen Qing's eyes, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.

"You rejected all the people recommended by the noble families in Yongzhou?"

Huangfu Rou asked softly as she walked forward.

Shen Qing's expression slightly restrained after hearing this. He paused for a moment and said, "Yes, that's true."

Huangfu Rou walked into the house with an upright posture, turned her head to look at Shen Qing, and sighed: "This is a troubled time. You may find yourself in trouble if you do this."

"Your Excellency, you are right. My actions will indeed put me in trouble, but it is easy to send away a god after inviting him in. If I open this loophole now, it will be easy to let these people in, but it will be difficult to get them out in the future."

Shen Qing expressed his thoughts seriously, and continued: "In the future, these people will only obey the orders of the clan and work for the interests of the clan. How can I not be coerced by them and look down on them?" "In my opinion, some things are precious because you stick to the bottom line and keep your heart, and only then can people look up to you. Compromise without a bottom line is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst."

Shen Qing's words were so deafening that the air in the room seemed to freeze.

Just when he thought Huangfu Rou was going to give a long speech, Huangfu Rou's lips curled up slightly, expressing her approval of his point of view, and said appreciatively: "You are right, some things are precious because of persistence."

"Sir, what are you..."

Huangfu Rou said: "I don't like those people either, but unfortunately, I am different from you. When you are in the arena, you have no choice..."

As they were talking, they suddenly felt the ground shaking violently, and the vibration passed under their feet like a wave.

Huangfu Rou and Shen Qing were caught off guard and moved slightly, taking a few steps.

They looked up at each other one after another, and noticed a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

"what happened?"

"Let's go out and take a look."

Shen Qing and Huangfu Rou rushed out from the back hall and looked in the distance where the noise came from.

"That direction... is the county government!" Shen Qing blurted out.

Shen Qing hurriedly called out to his officers, "Quick, go check what's going on."

Before the officer could respond, a thunderous explosion sounded.

Along with the thunder came a strong voice from an old man: "How dare you, you daring demon, break into the county government and kill the county magistrate? Take your life!"

A charming voice said unwillingly, "If you have the guts, come and try to take it, hahahaha..."

"kill!"

In the distance, above the county government, under the majestic sky, two figures suddenly appeared.

An old martial artist and a female demon.

With a loud shout, the old martial artist in the Xiantian realm was filled with fighting spirit as hot as flames. He threw a punch with overwhelming force, tearing cracks into the void.

And the female demon was not willing to be outdone.

boom!
The two figures suddenly crossed each other like meteors, making a deafening noise.

The dazzling light enveloped the two of them. The courtyard building beneath them could not withstand this force and quickly collapsed, flying, rolling, and pushing outward.

The strong wind carried the sand and swept it in all directions.

Even Shen Qing couldn't help but close his eyes and just use his spiritual sense to focus on everything in the distance.

"You better take your time, old man."

Just as the two forces collided violently, the woman suddenly retracted her edge, and with the help of this huge reaction force, she stretched out her body, transformed into an elusive rainbow phantom, calmly moving among the dense murderous aura, and escaping in a series of dazzling afterimages.

Seeing this scene, the man's face suddenly changed and he was furious.

"Where to go!"

He let out a long roar toward the sky, his voice shaking the entire area, and his aura instantly surged.

Following this long roar, he chased after the enemy desperately like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Every step the old martial artist took was accompanied by a thunderous roar.

The white clouds above were falling apart in this powerful breath.

When Shen Qing saw this scene, he was horrified.

This is no coincidence.

It was the other party who started the action, and the chaos in Yongzhou began!
